WATCH: Round Eye's 'Do The Drumpf' is Practically Perfect in Every Way

Shanghai-based rock band Round Eye released their newest video 'Do the Drumpf' on Thanksgiving, and for those Americans that have mixed feelings about the pilgrim plauged holiday, it couldn't have been timed better.

A saxaphone, block-headed figures with "KKK" and "USA" written on the sides, a Hillary Clinton that looks suspiciously like band member Jimmy Jack and cameos from some of the city's most active musicians can all be found, in a light, funny 4:25 second dystopian jam session. 

"'Do the Drumpf' isn't a part of an upcoming album," the band told That's. "It is one of two songs on a digitally released single on Sudden Death Records to celebrate the second anniversary of the death of common sense in the USA. This video is our subjective window into the reality of the sitcom we call American politics. No Trump, no KKK, no facist USA."

There's a lot to unpack here, but we'd rather just leave you to it. Enjoy, friends.

Their other single 'MAGAMAN' will be out in January 2019, but in the meantime, for more Round Eye you can check out their bandcamp page. Here are some more behind the scenes photos from the shoot:
